Population justification: The species is described as rare (Stotz et al. 1996). Based on the extent of suitable habitat, the population along the río Tambopata was estimated at 86-515 territories, with the true number likely closer to the lower end of the band (Kratter 1995). Extrapolating this to the currently known distribution suggests a population of at least 10,000 territories (Kratter 2020). This equates to at least 20,000 mature individuals, and therefore the population is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals.
Trend justification: There are no data on the population trend, but ongoing habitat loss and degradation is suspected to negatively impact the population. Over three generations (10.2 years), 7% of tree cover is lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Even though the species appears able to tolerate some habitat disturbance, it has very specific requirements for floodplain forests in close proximity to rivers (Kratter 2020). Therefore, population declines may be steeper than the rate of tree cover loss suggests. Tentatively, population declines are here placed in the band 10-19% over three generations.
